Saying Hiroshima

A great and unforgettable book. Richard H. Minear has translated three great "witnesses" (and survivors) of Hiroshima: Hara Tamiki, Ota Yoko, Toge Sankichi. Everything is very important and useful in this book: introductions, notes, maps, pictures, glossary, Minear added a note and about Maruki Iri and Maruki Toshi, two famous painters of Hiroshima.
